  The couple times Ron Burke got suspended did anything change  No.  The stable just went into his brothers name and it was business as usual .    Why should the Engblom situation be any different ?    Have to agree with Gural on this one, the punishment is definitely excessive.    The NJRC are lucky that they even have jobs with the lousy job they’ve done for years . They never did a thing about Jorge Navarro , Gural’s the one who put an end to him.  Navarro flaunted the cheating in their face for years and what did the NJRC do about it, the answer is nothing

Among other powerful substances, Oxy was found running through Mon Amor.
That is ridiculous and abusive. Oxy can not be given to horses. Period. Not by anyone.
The punishment is way too lenient. But horse welfare isn't very important at the Meadowlands

Thoroughbred Racing / I always keep on learning how to bet.
« Last post by dougie on Today at 11:08:10 AM »
I was reading an interesting post on one of the dozen or so horse blogs I love to follow. He talked about "sizing up a race" and why that makes some people more successful than other at betting horses. He talked about "running the race in your mind" considering what each horse has done in their previous starts. For Preakness 2026, he reasoned that the #1 Horse Taj Mahal would shoot out of the gate and go as far as he can go. He felt that that the speedster couldn't get the distance and would give it up at the top of the lane. He felt that the #14 Pretty Boy Micah would have to go to the lead if he had any chance, but would be cooked from that wide post. He reasoned that #10 Napoleon Solo, another speed horse with a great "speed rider" in Paco Lopez, would be up close early, relax the horse, and wait for the #1 to fold. Which is exactly what happened. He talked about bettors, LIKE ME, who bet horses with NO CHANCE looking to make a score. He talked about Laurel Park, a notorious speed favoring track, and lamenting how bettors "plunged" their cash on horses who had no chance. He reasoned that a closer might get into the tri or the super, but never get into this Preakness Winner Circle. So for all who hit the race and cashed, I tip my hat to you. Handicapping ain't easy. But I continue to learn from others. Even at my age. Good luck to all you gamblers, like me, chasing the big score.

Yannick owns pieces of many horses with a variety of trainers. With the high incomes these drivers generate, they need to find ways to spend their money. Invest in good horses with good trainers, or pay taxes to the government.   To Me-  Smart Move

Correct me if I am wrong but at least YG owned horses with Engblom prior to him getting caught with Mon Amor.

Beckwith started using Engblom with that whole issue looming. Correct?
 Very powerful drugs found in that poor horses system, making him race through horrible pain.

 Just horrible.

The harness racing judges at Plainridge Park in 2026 are Charles Eaton (Presiding Judge), Salvatore Panzera (Associate Judge), and Christine Miller (Associate Judge).

Any connections to the horsemen there?
  The Eaton name is one that seems to be involved in things there. Overly involved I believe. It's a pet walking track there despite the high purses. Everyone shares.

Recent Breeder.  I’ve tried a few different stallions, in State, out of state, even tried a French and Swedish stallion. 
   I once inquired about a stallions services and they told me they could just ship the Seman…..what’s the world coming to.

I very well might have 128 bowling balls in my house right now and I do shine them after I use them!

People on plop might want to know who people are here so they can perhaps understand better. Both in racing and real life!

I don’t see many other people posting threads that as more interesting.

 ngc3

I'm not going over Rocky's house to play this week  ngc3

He wants to throw his toys at us  ngc3

Maybe next week  tmbz1

With that said....never any of the above, but if I was, I'd be all.

I would have the mare and the sire, breed the yearling, be the trainer and driver.  Not become a vet but take enough training I'd understand equine anatomy.   

If the horse was fit and more than capable of beating the competition they'd be raced.

Otherwise, like Rocky said a while back...they'd be like family pets.  Likely staying with me too.

Without 100% control, I would not get involved.

At my age, what are the chances of accomplishing all that...near zilch!  ;D
